Pros

The clients were very pleasant.

Cons

The manager was harassing me and telling to sweep up hair faster in between clients! This created a very stressful and toxic environment. I I have medical issues and she refused to let me take a ten minute break to eat or use bathroom. Don’t waste time working for this sad establishment! I was treated like an animal. Once I told her of my health issues she fired me the next day! It was like working in a swear shop/ concentration camp! The manager was concerned with wait times so she can get her bonus while others are burned out . Salon is completely understaffed!!!!! We are human beings not robots!!!!!! Work shouldn’t be an endurance test. After doing 5 haircuts every one deserves a break. Work isn’t supposed to be a survivor challenge! Total toxic work place that doesn’t care about individuals even if you have medical issues and are over 50. Don’t lose your health or dignity by being manipulated to work faster. There was nothing great about that place!
